It’s not hard to read between the lines. Kourtney Kardashiantook to Twitter on Friday, March 4, to share a quote about heartache the same night that her ex, Scott Disick, defended his partying ways during an appearance in Las Vegas.

“A smile hides my pain, a hug masks my heartache, and a laugh covers my tears,” the mom of three wrote. Later, when a fan replied to her wise words by noting that pain leads to strength, Kardashian, 36, agreed.

On Friday, the troubled reality star hung out at the 1 Oak nightclub in The Mirage hotel, with club owner Eli Pacino and NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.

At one point during the night, Disick addressed his partying ways. “I just back from Mexico and they said I was a bad motherf--ker for having a cigarette and a beer,” he told the crowd. “I see two thousand motherf--kers doing the same thing here right now. Why’s everybody got to come at me?”
